Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which film starred Priscilla Lane and Jack Benny?

Answer: The Meanest Man In The World

"The Meanest Man In The World" was released in 1943, and also stars Eddie "Rochester" Anderson and Edmund Gwenn. Jack Benny plays a nice-guy, small-town lawyer who moves to New York City to make his fortune. He's not successful, until a friend advises him to convince the world that he's ruthless and mean.

When he does, he becomes the most popular lawyer in town. But when his small-town fiancee (Lane) comes to visit, she doesn't like what she thinks he's become.
2. How many films did the three Lane sisters, Priscilla, Rosemary and Lola, make together?

Answer: 4

The three of them appeared in "Four Daughters" in 1938, "Four Wives" and "Daughters Courageous" in 1939, and "Four Mothers" in 1941. Who played the fourth sister, you ask? The eldest Lane sister, stage actress Leota Lane, wasn't approved by Warner Brothers for these films, so Gale Page played the fourth sister in all three of them. Priscilla and Rosemary were also in "Varsity Show" in 1937, and "Swingtime In The Movies" in 1941.
3. Of the following, who did Priscilla Lane make the most films with?

Answer: Jeffrey Lynn

She and Jeffrey Lynn made eight films together; "Four Daughters" and "Cowboy From Brooklyn" in 1938, "Daughters Courageous", "Four Wives", "The Roaring Twenties" and "Yes, My Darling Daughter" in 1939, and "Four Mothers" and "Million Dollar Baby" in 1941. She made five films with John Garfield, and four each with Eddie Albert and Wayne Morris.
4. Priscilla Lane was in a film whose cast included a future president and his first wife, as well as the future Oliver Wendell Douglas. Which film was it?

Answer: Brother Rat

"Brother Rat" was released in 1938, and stars Wayne Morris, Ronald Reagan, Jane Wyman and Eddie Albert. It is about a group of cadets at VMI, and their efforts to hide the fact that one of them (Albert) is married, which is against the rules. Naturally, there was a sequel entitled "Brother Rat and a Baby", released in 1940.
5. Which of these films did NOT star Priscilla Lane and Humphrey Bogart?

Answer: Blues In The Night

"Blues In The Night" was released in 1941, and stars Betty Field, Richard Whorf and Jack Carson. An unsuccessful band is hired by a mobster, to play in his illegal gambling casino.

Answer: Varsity Show
